At the 2025 Invictus Games, Prince Harry’s thinning hair seemed to overshadow his affectionate moments with Meghan Markle. During the event, photos surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) of the couple enjoying the Games, one showing Meghan leaning on Harry and another featuring a kiss. However, many online commenters were more fixated on Harry’s hair loss rather than their loving interactions. One user quipped, “And everyone thought Meghan didn’t get the bald one,” poking fun at Prince William’s baldness.
Amid the banter about his baldness, some wondered whether Harry might consider a hair transplant. “If he loves her enough he will go to Turkey for her,” noted a retweet, as Turkey is a popular destination for such procedures. Others expressed skepticism about Harry’s chances, suggesting that his hair loss might be too advanced to correct. One commenter advised, “It’s either time to shave it off or buy a plane ticket to Turkey, my man.”
Harry has openly addressed his hair loss, admitting to his struggles back in April 2022 while promoting the Invictus Games on Dutch television. He joked, “I’m already … I’m doomed,” about his hair situation. Despite this acknowledgment, some believe he has taken measures to avoid embracing a bald look like his brother.
Why people associate Prince Harry’s baldness with karma
Some believe that Prince William might be amused by Harry’s baldness, especially considering Harry’s prior jabs at William’s hair in his memoir, “Spare,” released in January 2023. During an anecdote highlighting a past disagreement, Harry described William’s “alarming baldness.” When promoting the book on “60 Minutes,” Harry defended his remarks, stating he didn’t see them as hurtful.
By August 2023, criticism grew regarding Harry’s approach to his hair loss compared to William’s acceptance. Harry’s profile picture on the BetterUp website appeared altered to show fuller hair, prompting mockery when a side-by-side comparison was shared online. A royal commentator remarked that William handled his baldness with dignity, suggesting Harry looked foolish for trying to avoid acceptance of his age.
Given his recent appearance at the Invictus Games, it seems that relying on photo edits won’t suffice. It might be time for Harry to come to terms with his hair loss and consider a different haircut.
